The SE that get me the most are dry mouth and orthostatic hypotension. If I excercise generally it is a day later that I get increased orthostatic hypotension and kind of bump into walls. Acutally nortryptline is not the most sedating TCA, it's properties are supposed to be somewhat moderate in that department.
The problem with excercise is a mystery. Not only do I get SE increase but I feel terrible and have sleep disturbances and definite depression. It is like the med is causing me to feel worse. I don't think the sedation affects the workout since the all around disturbance is so profound.
I do think I am experiencing a poop out effect too. Things sure do seem bleak at times and it is hard to carry on. take care
